100% Sangiovese, Banfi clonal selection
DESCRIPTION
A Brunello born in the estate vineyards that the zonation studies, which started in 1980, identified as the most suitable for Sangiovese. The 2019 season was marked by extraordinary cold in April and May, which delayed vegetative development. However, this was later recovered thanks to a warm and dry period. The sudden increase in temperatures then encouraged the production of loose and light grape clusters. The sunny months of August and September, without scorching temperatures, allowed for optimal grape ripening. The 2019 harvest is characterized by high-quality grapes with an intense regional personality, giving us wines of great structure and savoriness.
This Brunello di Montalcino Poggio alle Mura Riserva has an elegant and powerful structure, with soft and silky tannins. The color is ruby red, tending towards garnet, intense and deep. Complex, mature, and elegant, it offers notes of black cherry, ripe cherry, and spices. The body is full, juicy, well-balanced, and with a marked acidity. The finish is very elegant and harmonious. The imposing structure makes it suitable for a long aging. It is perfect as a meditation wine. Excellent companion of succulent and savory dishes such as aged cheesesor cold cuts
